Does it happen right away, or after the machine "heats up"?

Yes, right away.

Since you have more than likely eliminated any software problems already I would try these solutions.
Re-seat the card in the slot. Sometimes even taking it out and cleaning the contacts does the trick. I use a pencil eraser for that little job.

I'll give it a shot.

I believe that is a PCIe card. Do you have another slot available for it? Try moving it.

It only fits in one slot.

I also think that particular card has an option for a direct power feed from the power supply. You could try that. It may be an aging motherboard issue not giving sufficient power to the card.

The computer is only five years old, P4 2.9 Ghz.

Do you have another machine to test the card in? At least you could narrow it down that way.

I took it out of a machine that is set up for multi-track audio recording but does not have service XP Service Pack 3. I tried the old drivers but they didn't make things better. It's a bit of a mystery to me.
Thanks
